Fields needs to sit for a few games. He's not even close right now.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:58 AM) Lillibridge is my dude. That must suck

Pretty good night at the plate for Lillibridge. Good to see, all jokes aside.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:55 AM) Alexei with 2 hits tonight including that double. I really would like to see him bat 2nd. Maybe it will get him more fastballs as well as make him focus on hitting it the opposite way.

Pods late on an 88 mph fastball. Thanks for helping with the game on Friday, now please leave.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:42 AM) I am in the midst of a a family party looked at he score and the first thing I thought of is the Rangers starters who suck have shut the Sox out for all three games almostas bad as Toronto last year. Sorry time to can Greg walker. Against Texas starting pitching, we didn't have a single base hit to score a run all series. There was the Alexei sac fly, and then Thome's hit against Holland.

Alexei is just awful going to his right. He stumbles over his feet trying to dive.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:37 AM) Reinsdorf said they were boring last year, so he cut payroll, raised prices and brought in Brent Lillibridge. Only Sox fans would think that hitting home runs is boring.

How many announcing errors could they make in a minute span. Sox with trip to west coast to play Seattle, while Fields caught the pop up by Corky.

Is anyone in chat?

Nice play by Betemit, but another mental error by our defense. Keep us in the game here.

Half-ass dive attempt by Alexei there to keep the ball on the infield. Danks change-up has been a terrible pitch his last two starts.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:17 AM) Before Fridays game, Ozzie wanted to have Pods lead off. Ozzie thinks its 2005 still. Ozzie's inability to get our best bats into the lineup on a daily basis is killing this offense. Besides for Alexei, no one is really struggling among the regulars. It's just that the lineup is constructed so poorly.

Predict the lineup tomorrow: Pods RF Getz 2B Quentin LF Thome DH Konerko 1B AJP C Ramirez SS Betemit 3B Lillibridge CF

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:14 AM) Nix needs to be our starting 2B.. f***. Screw that...we have Getz there. Put Nix at SS, and then move Alexei to CF. Sadly, I feel like Ozzie will come up with any excuse to get Pods into the lineup now.

Yeah Ozzie, keep playing Betemit at 1B. Loving Nix at least.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:12 AM) The Sox didn't deserve to win when Ozzie filled out the line-up card. I couldn't agree more. It just seems like there's no rhythm to this team so far. We should be grateful they have the record that they do, as they've not lost many games that they really SHOULD have won. We have won quite a few games that we should have lost.

Terrible, we don't deserve to win this game. Harrison pitched Quentin brilliantly in that AB.

That easily could have been called strike 3.

Wow, almost a hell of a play by Davis.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:06 AM) did you guys even watch the pitch sequence? he couldn't have done anything in that at bat. terrible inconsistency on the ump's part The ump didn't make him chase a 58 footer. If he's not going to rake against LHP, then he's a way below average overall hitter.

Just a terrible AB by Fields. Huge disappointment so far at the plate.

Wow, that 1-1 pitch wasn't even close.

You absolutely, positively don't send Alexei there. Not down 3 and with Andruw's arm in LF.

Very impressed with Nix so far. He looks like he can actually do damage at the plate.
